<b><p>Andy</p>: </b><em>?I could take or leave the visuals on this music video by Pakistan's Mekaal Hasan Band, but I love the way that the classically-trained flautist (at least that's what I'd call him—the instrument may be called something different altogether) and vocalist get top billing. In a <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=95360493">profile this morning on NPR</a>, Hasan said, "Classical musicians are unbelievable improvisers. That's a common thing that jazz and [South Asian] classical has: They're both improvising art forms. But the language varies within each particular art form. It just depends on how much they're willing to stretch."?</em><br />
